Elliot Quest Is Very Lovely And Has Strange Monsters

Share this:

Some alpha footage has appeared for indie side-scroller Elliot Quest. Which feature some of the loveliest pixel animation I’ve seen in a while. Deceptively simple looking, it’s not just yet another pixel platformer – this is an open-world game, to be completed as you wish, along with spells, inventory, puzzles and the like. And there’s a demo too. And it’s tops.

The demo is brief, but it gives you a good taste of what’s in store. And what’s in store is some very charming RPG platforming that I want to play more of RIGHT NOW. Oh wait, I can if I pre-order it for $5. I just did that. Now I’m playing the alpha version. I am best at purchasing.

Here’s the footage:

It’s obviously on Greenlight, and there is of course an Indiegogo (but be warned, it’s “flexible funding”, which we don’t tend to approve of). You may as well just buy it.

Wow, the music. It’s as though your eyes see an unfinished 8-bit platformer with promisingly varied but fairly generic gameplay but thanks to the music your ears tell your brain, “Remember Zelda on the SNES? That was an awesome game… awesome game…” happy childhood memories flood back. Then the trailer ends but the feeling doesn’t. “That was an awesome looking game”, you tell yourself… Then you write an article.

Actually, it does look like fun, and something I’d pick up off of Steam :)
